Pinkshift have shared details of their forthcoming album ‘Earthkeeper’, and dropped its latest single ‘Anita Ride’.
The new record lands August 29 via Hopeless Records, and will also feature previous single ‘Evil Eye’.
Have a listen to ‘Anita Ride’ via its official video below.
Speaking of the new single, vocalist Ashrita Kumar has shared:
“It’s essentially a release, a reminder, a cathartic moment to give yourself permission to share the weight that you feel in the moments you feel heavy with grief with others and give yourself credit for everything you have done.
“I felt like this song was a moment where we all very obviously, as a band, shed our old skin. This is the first track you hear [guitarist] Paul [Vallejo] and [drummer] Myron [Houngbedji] singing prominently on a track – we are all intentionally united. I found my roar.
“What made me more powerful in this moment was leaning into losing control, leaning into trusting my community, and leaning into the uncertainty and chaos that are the transitions of life.”
Sharing further about the track’s influences and themes, Kumar added:
“The second verse was inspired by Kendrick [Lamar] for me. I wanted to channel the way that he talks to his higher self in his greatest moment of self-doubt, because self-doubt is the enemy of creativity. The feeling that I have less is the enemy of my prosperity.”
“I hear your voice – become divine, if you never want, you’ll always have.”
